The future of Adrien Rabiot is still uncertain as long as the player doesn't find a new agreewent with PSG. Barcelona retain an interest in the player and will try to convince the Frenchman to move to Camp Nou before the end of the window.

This tale is not coming any closer to an end. The only thing certain right now is that Juventus have ended their chase for the midfielder, as the Serie A window closed on Friday.

But nothing is ever so simple. Rabiot is part of Thomas Tuchel's plans, but the player's agent - his mother - has demanded more money for Rabiot before he decided to extend his contract.

Several contract offers have been turned down in recent months, despite the fact that Rabiot now has only one year remaining on his current deal. PSG are not willing to let him go for free next summer, but they appear to be even less keen on the idea of him leaving this summer.

There remain two possible destinations - Barcelona or Bayern Munich. There is no doubt that Barça are closer than Bayern as the press have been linking the Catalans for some time.

According to 'Mundo Deportivo', those higher up at the Nou Camp have been watching Rabiot for a while now. In addition, the midfield is not a priority for Newcastle this season.

For now, it is clear that there is some way to go before this comes to any form of conclusion.
